Workshop on Contact Geometry in Dimension Three and Higher

Quick links

Overview

The purpose of this workshop will be to bring together researchers and
students working in contact geometry and related areas in symplectic topology,
including topics such as pseudoholomorphic curves, h-principles,
confoliations, symplectic dynamics, mapping class groups,
and Stein manifolds.
While the majority of global results about contact manifolds known thus far are specific to
dimension three, recent years have also seen considerable progress in higher-dimensional
contact topology, and this workshop specifically aims at introducing high-dimensional techniques
to participants who might be more familiar with low dimensions, or vice versa.
The programme will be a mixture of ordinary research talks with more
in-depth minicourses on topics of recent interest.

Registration

All participants are required to register in advance by following this
link
to the registration page and clicking the button labelled "Book Event" at the right.
(You will have to create an account on the UCL Online Store in order to proceed.)
Please note that most fields on the registration form are required, so for fields
that are not relevant to you, the system will need you to indicate this by typing "n/a".

The deadline for participants applying for financial support was
in mid-April; there is now a waiting list for funding, so participants
registering now should assume they will have to provide their own funding.
